B9.5 Audi A4 allroad Spied

With all the rumors and speculation about the A6 allroad and RS 6 Avant potentially coming to America, it is perhaps easy to forget that Audi's A4 allroad, the lone Avant currently in America, is also due for a facelift. When test mules of that next-generation car (dubbed B9.5 those in-the-know) make a showing on test routes, it should definitely be newsworthy. On one hand, changes to A4 allroad drivetrain aren't expected to be revolutionary. The current car makes do with Audi's potent 2.0...

Audi exclusive Mocha Latte A4 allroad at Walter’s Audi

"Buick Beige"? The hell you say. The Audi exclusive color Mocha Latte may be on the beige end of the spectrum, but it's anything but boring.

Mocha Latte first wowed Audi aficionados when it landed on an RS 6 in the Audi Forum Ingolstadt.

Defining OEM plus with this Incredible Audi A4 allroad

  words: George Achorn, photos: Nicholas Caron I’m just going to say it. OEMplus is an overused term.
